Resum:
siguientes y normalizados a la semana. Con el estrés nico, se obtuvo un incremento mayor que se mantuvo
durante 15 días. Sin embargo, la técnica de cián no PGM en ninguno de los periodos post-tratamiento
estudiados.
Conclusión: el estrés, tanto en su forma aguda como nica, es insuficiente para generar PGM actuando como factor
aislado, aunque induce algunos de sus signos característicos electrofisiológicos y electromiográficos, convirtiéndose
en un elemento relevante en la generación, perpetuación, agravamiento y / o nificación del SDM.
Myofascial trigger points (PGM) are caused by a set of sensitive, motor, and autonomic symptoms, and constitute
myofascial muscle pain syndrome (SDM). Although there is no evidence, stress has been proposed as a generator
and perpetuator of SDM. The most accepted pathophysiological theory proposes that PGMs involve an increase in
ACh in the affected muscles.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between stress and the generation of PGM.
Methods: 5 acute stressors (immobilization, forced swimming, food and water deprivation, social isolation, and
ultrasound) were analyzed in 4–6-week-old male mice. Subsequently, these stresses were combined to try to generate
chronic stress. For the study of ACh release, the muscles of the animals were evaluated before and after the
application of stress, using two techniques: spontaneous neurotransmission intracellular recordings (mEPPs) and
endplate noise electromyographic recordings. For morphological study, PAS-Alcián technique were performed in order
to see PGM.
